TestSens (Impedance Tube)

Material Sound Transmission Loss and Acoustic Impedance Tube Systems

TestSens acoustic performance measurement system is an acoustic impedance, sound transmission loss and sound absorption coefficient measurement system operating in accordance with ASTM E-2611, ASTM E-1050, ISO 10534-2 standards. Measurements can be made at a frequency of 50Hz - 6400 Hz, under room conditions, temperature and pressure. There are 2 different diameter tubes (100mm, 29mm diameter) for low and high frequency measurements.
